Jetpack in reach is awesome. That is the biggest positive I have about the game. Every game needs a jet pack.

it's easily the worse armor ability out of the bunch, especially in small-team skirmishes.

sprint or armor lock are much better options.

Flying around on a jetpack and throwing grenades in firefight mode is the most fun I've ever had with a halo game. Trying to get a banshee 1000 feet in the air is awesome. Every game needs jetpacks for this sole reason. The 1000 foot jumps is a blast.

I only like it on 1 or 2 multiplayer maps. Aside from that I think it's kinda dumb.

If you can steal a banshee with the jetpack, than the guy flying the banshee was horrible. Jetpack is only worth while in firefight mode or objective modes like territories where you have to get quick access to a higher level. if you use jet pack in adversarial modes you are nothing but an easy target. I love when people use jetpack especially on maps like The Cage because they end up walking away with negative scores. Its like a novice level shooting gallery when someone uses jetpack.

Meh they are pretty useless unless you have a rocket launcher. I honestly can't wait to try out killzone 3's jetpacks. They look like they are extremely fun to use from what i have seen in the multiplayer videos.

Jetpacks have their time and place.

They are amazing on vertical map like sword base, reflection, and a few forge world variants, but on others like powerhouse and countdown, they're essentially worthless.

But a private match limited to only jetpacks is fun. Also you forgot active camo, most people are moving too fast to see you when you're crouching and moving. Also a good sniping spot and rifle + active camo = win.

The jet pack is ok, I'm glad they didn't overpower it.

The jetpack is fun for modes like firefight or rockets, but every other mode they just give off your location to the other team. I personally like the hologram, especially in close quarter maps. I love sending it out in the open and watching the other team waste ammo on it while I flank them.

Hologram=60$ worth of entertainment. In other words, watching people attack the hologram alone is worth 60$

i think all the "perk" things (jetpact, hologram etc) just make the game feel cheap and casual. you can be totally rumbling someone with an assault rifle and then they pop out some lame powerup and completely screw you over.

The loadouts/armor abilities as a whole are hands-down the best new thing Halo has had for a long time.

Totally agree. Now they just need remove pick-up weapons and regenerating health, and put it on PC with dedicated servers.

I think Sprint is the best. It works perfectly in any type of game mode. Something I do love doing with Armor Lock, though, is to activate it while a ghost is charging at you and having the ghost explode. Armor Lock beats ghost.
